"The Memoir of Dr. Buchanan here presented to the christian public is that by Dr. Pearson, much abridged in parts which cannot be of permanent interest in this country; with the insertion, in the order of time, of the most valuable portions of Dr. Buchanan's "Christian Researches in Asia," published by himself, which Dr. Pearson felt constrained to omit. What is retained from Dr. Pearson is given in his own words; except that the narrative of Dr. Buchanan's life after his return to England is condensed by the American editor into one short chapter, with the addition of some concluding remarks; and, in a few instances, connecting sentences have been inserted. The division of the book into parts has been dropped, and the whole included in consecutive chapters. It is believed that every thing of permanent value in the Memoir by Pearson is retained, and that the additions from the "Researches in Asia" will render this volume more valuable than the original; and indeed, in relation to Eastern missions, one of the most instructive and useful works that have been written. -- page 3.

Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life and Writings of the Rev. Claudius Buchanan, D. D, Vol. 1: Late Vice-Provost of the College of Fort William in Bengal The observation of Lord Bacon, as to the deficiency in the biographical literature of his day, is certainly not applicable to the present times. We have rather to complain of ex cess than of defect. While ample justice has been done to the lives of eminent per-e sons, it must be confessed, that accounts of obscure individuals have been unnecessarily multiplied.
